Default I got it done!!!

Despite the low deer movement due to the UN seasonably warm temperatures... I took my biggest buck so far and it came in a way that I would have never thought it would.

This is a DYI hunt...the first day I passed on a decent 10 with split g2ss..making it a 12. It just didn't have the mass nor time length that I was looking for.
On day three after sitting in the stand till 11 am and not seeing a deer...I decided to get down and do some scouting.
I almost didn't even nock an arrow. I had made it almost 1/2 way back to the truck when I thought I heard a faint grunt..I was walking a feild edge that had prairie grass bordering it and the woods.
I stopped..got my grunt tube in my mouth and grunted...not 10 yards away this buck grunts back...walks parallel to me and the field..giving me a 10 - 15 yard shot quartering away.
I see that he's got a huge rack.. Draw my bow...grunt to stop him...spit the grunt tube out and let him have it!
He jumped..and stopped...walked another 10 steps and fell over DRT!
